Hello everyone, I'm working in a workgroup with (only) 4 pc's connected to one another. Fonts: Bold Italic etc grayed out in outlook. Note: For not bolding all unread messages automatically, please select Regular from the Font style list box. Please select Bold or Bold Italic from the Font style list box, and specify other formatting as you need.

When a theme is assigned, you have three choices for the font: Use theme's font, Use my font when replying and forwarding messages, and Always use my font. How do I fix this? It sounds like you are using a default theme for your email. When I go to File, Options, Stationery and Fonts in Outlook, the buttons to change fonts are greyed out.

In this case, it is best to contact your support department to verify if that is indeed the case. This is only likely when your company has configured the mail server to automatically generate and add signatures to your emails. If the Signature button is greyed out completely, it could have been disabled by Group Policy. I have tried changing from HTML to Plain text and Rich text formats but i still have the same issue. The cursor is in the body of the message when this is happening. When a user is trying to compose a new message or reply to a message, the message tab options e.g bold/italics is greyed out and the format text tab also.
